Controls are unsatisfying, and it kinda doesnt fit the theme. It's ok

I like that the game is intuitively understandable and simple, but the awkward movement and the menu music spoiled the impression of the game. Overall, the project feels a bit raw. I suggest adding sound settings and tweaking the level a bit because when you're at the top, you don't know where the asteroid will fall. Also, I didn't understand if the game corresponds to the theme of the jam or not :/
I loooove the art style here. I decided to play this one because of the images of it I saw when i was scrolling over the game on the submissions page.
As for the gameplay, I do think the movement is too slippery. Slippery isn't always necessarily bad, you can use it as a mechanic to make a game harder, but its important to find the sweet spot of how slippery you can make it to still have it be fun and still feel like the player has decent control.
Good submission! I was able to get a score of 48

BloomstickI love how straightforward this game is! Loved the art and music, but the movement is too slippery, and the game needs more mechanics and features to increase replayability. Best of luck!

Walter Waters (Jam Submission)Nice game! The art is really nice-looking and the music is great. It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out how to get to the droplet at the top, but that's probably just because I don't play platformers that often :) I also think that the timer is kind of unnecessary, but that's just my opinion.

Bloom DefenderNice little arcade game you got going here!! The pixel art looks good and the music sounds great. While the controls where a little stiff it was manageable. I would loosen it up just a bit, adjust the jump height and git rid of the double jump. Otherwise good game!!

Floral Vigilantecool game. I really liked the art style. The player is hard to control, and there is no warning for when and where a meteor is about to spawn and sometimes it spawns on top of you, and you can't get away from it. With some small tweaks, this can be a fun phone game to play when you are bored.

Plants'O'ChopThe movement felt really floaty and it made the audio sounds even when you arent able to jump.
Aside from that a cool submission.
